The GATA transcription factor egl-27 delays aging by promoting stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Stress is a fundamental aspect of aging, as accumulated damage from a lifetime of stress can limit lifespan and protective responses to stress can extend lifespan. In this study, we identify a conserved Caenorhabditis elegans GATA transcription factor, egl-27, that is involved in several stress resp...
